Chinese New Year with LEGO

As Chinese New Year – The Year of Monkey is approaching, I can’t help thinking what to do next for this year’s theme! Today, I am using LEGO to build me auspicious Chinese New Year words. It is 大吉大利 which means I wish you happiness, luck and wealth. I do have limited LEGO so I am building 大吉 which represents almost the same meaning!

Before I started building this, I wrote down the Chinese words to use the LEGO to overlay the words and worked from there. Initially it was hard as I have limited LEGO of consistent colours but after a few swaps, I managed to create these two words.

Then I built the white colour bricks around the words and later framed it up with the yellow bricks. Now it is placed along with my Pineapple craft I made earlier.

I hope I have shown you something new and interesting, and now it is your time to explore and learn Chinese words using LEGO!
